I have just one more question which has to be asked: they reckon up to 40% of public service jobs could be affected and could be automated. Has the Department done anything to re-skill the workers or what is its position on that? This is serious, especially with public services. For instance, the lads spoke about Estonia but recently in Albania, the president made a full AI minister - and I think it was mostly concerned about what we were talking about with procurement contracts - called Diella. It actually has a name and everything else.
